The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le lavoir du centre a été construit en 1849 sur les plans de l'architecte Jean-Baptiste Colard, en remplacement du lavoir Lacroix, qui datait de 1823. L'édifice, construit en pierre de taille, comprend un lavoir couvert sous une halle portée par des colonnes doriques et, hors-œuvre du côté du village, une fontaine circulaire avec pile de jet centrale ornée de motifs sculptés, dont le bassin se prolonge de part et d'autre par un abreuvoir. La disposition des bassins impose à l'eau un cheminement double, successivement divergent puis convergent.

The lavoir of the centre was built in 1849 on the plans of the architect Jean-Baptiste Colard, replacing the Lacroix lavoir, which dated from 1823. The building, constructed in ashlar, comprises a covered lavoir under a hall supported by Doric columns and, outside the building on the side of the village, a circular fountain with a central jet pile decorated with sculptured motifs, whose basin extends on either side by a watering trough. The disposition of the basins imposes on the water a double flow, successively divergent then convergent.
